Today was a nice and relaxing day! Taylor and I went for a run in the morning, and by that I mean I ran with Taylor for a good mile and then ran back. She did 4 miles and I did 2. Maybe one of these days I'll be able to run with her the entire time, but for now I need to work my way up. She is an avid runner so I'm thinking that I'll run with her at her pace for half of the distance and then run back at my own pace. After our run we laid out in the sun. It was such a nice day; I was glad that the forecast was wrong! It had predicted rain showers all day and into the evening, but there wasn't a grey cloud in sight.
This afternoon I did some pitching instruction with My and then we had practice. Taylor and I have been running the practices lately. We have a tournament at the end of the month and Taylor and I will not be playing. Instead, will be doing the coaching. The girls are going to try out some new positions and gain some more experience on the field. Today we had the girls do some front toss with a live defense. We had them all rotate positions when someone new came to the plate. Also, I tossed the batters inside and outside pitches so that they could start to notice when and where to hit different pitches. It also gave the defense a lot of variety. At the end we finished with my dad's "bunt the ball into the bucket" game. I didn't have any money or ice cream certificates to give them but they still enjoyed the challenge!
After practice I showered and watched the movie Madagascar with Freja. We watched it in Swedish but I put on the English subtitles. I had forgotten how much I love that movie! After the movie I packed up for our trip to Öland tomorrow! It's an island off the coast of Sweden that's about 6 hours away. We are staying with Ingrid’s friends Maria and Emil. It's just me, Ingrid and the kids this week because Micke is working. I'm excited for relaxing on the beach and finishing a book or two. We are there for 5 days and we leave early tomorrow morning! I better get off to bed so that it will come sooner! Good night!
